  1. It's about as close to French farce as romantic comedies get, and the closer the better.
  2. 60
    As her character resorts to increasingly cruel and devious pranks, Hudson only seems funnier and more endearing.
  3. 60
    There's a pleasantly malevolent ridiculousness hovering around How to Lose a Guy. But the movie would have been so much better if it had jumped into its mean-spiritedness with gusto and passion, instead of just splashing around in it halfheartedly.
  4. 38
    I am just about ready to write off movies in which people make bets about whether they will, or will not, fall in love.
